Women Waken: Spiritual Healing for Trauma in Relationships to Shift from Codependency to Divine Feminine
My name is Whitney Walker, welcome to Women Waken! I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist specialising in substance abuse, addiction, eating disorders, trauma, and Spirituality. Over 10 years ago I walked into a therapist office for the first time because I realised that I felt incapable of handling life. I abused drugs and alcohol, had rock bottom self esteem, often felt suicidal, was very self destructive, and had no idea how to resolve what felt like a complete mess inside my mind and emotions. After years of therapy, getting sober, and choosing to begin the journey of unconditional self love...
From The Archives: The Brilliance of Being A Wise Sage; Learning to Embrace Aging As Our True Divine Feminine Selves and Letting Go of Codependent Attachments
* This Episode was originally released in May of 2023*
Someone once said that aging isn't for the faint of heart. Aging can indeed be challenging and intimidating. Especially for Women. With so much focus on our looks and the reactions we elicit from the opposite sex, it can be hard to go gently into that dark night and embrace getting older. Watching our physical appearance change and possibly feel less noticed and revered. Yet, do we really lose value as we get older? My guest this week, Dana Irvine, joins us this week to say, absolutely not...

Moving From Fear Into Choice To Live Your Divine Feminine Soul-Truth: Overcoming Childhood Trauma To Reclaim Your Inner Peace, Wisdom, And Brilliant Light
The most liberating transformation we can ever undergo is moving from a place of fear into recognition that we always have a choice. Fear is information, not identity. And not truth. Fear isn’t weakness — it’s information. It can show up as perfectionism, people-pleasing, overthinking, or the need for approval. My guest this week, Terri Kozlowsk, has turned her challenges with fear and trauma into a joyous triumph of learning to trust your her own inner wisdom again after years of fear, conditioning, and self-doubt. Terry is a Native American Soul Coach, award-winning author, speaker, and founder of Kozmic...

* This episode was originally pulished in August 2023*
Most of us have heard of the term " A Spiritual Awakening", yet what does it actually mean? Is it something that happens instantaneously or over time?

* This episode was originally released on July 17, 2023*
Tarot came into my life very unexpectedly, as it often does for many Spiritual seekers. When we announce our willingness to open ourselves to our psychic, metaphysic, and energetic abilities we will find that new tools and gifts will come into our path. Tarot cards are one of these tools. Tarot's earliest recorded history dates back to 1400's where Tarot was developed originally as a game.

We've all been there before. We've sworn off dating, deciding to take a break and focus on ourselves until the real deal comes along. And then...someone does come along, but it ain't quite it. Yet it is someone to date, spend time with, have sex with, text with, and share life with.

TBF: The Power of Understanding Attachment Styles to Achieve A Healthy, Codependency Free Relationship That Honors Your Divine Feminine
Every person is unique in how they've learned to connect with and attach to others in romantic relationships. Many would say that these attachment styles are developed early on in infancy & childhood and stick with us into later life. Attachment styles impact how we conduct ourselves in our human connections. Many theories have been developed around attachment styles with prominent thought pointing to 4 specific types of attachment, how they form, and how they present themselves.
On this episode, I break down an over view of what attachment styles are and the different types. I then offer examples...
From The Archives: The Power of Awe: Overcoming Anxiety, Disconnect, & Depression By Using The Divine Feminine Gifts Of Awareness, Stillness, & Bliss In Microdoses Throughout Your Day

Humanity has learned to keep itself very busy. Busy and distracted. To the point that It's becoming increasingly difficult for us to go even 15 seconds without some form of stimulation be it from our phones, computers, or other devices. The art of being still, present, and aware of our surroundings sadly seems to be slipping away from the human experience. Yet, not so fast.

* This Episode was originally released on July 28th, 2023. Enjoy!*
Ok, hear me out here. I'm not making accusations, I just wanted to share some thoughts that came to me about being stuck in one dead end, dramatic relationship after the other. Intensity, passion, deceit, manipulation, confusion, ups & downs, on & on. I thought to record this episode when in a moment of nostalgia over an ex I realized that it's impossible to have an unhealthy or "toxic" relationship where only one person is the toxic person at fault. Why? Because an emotionally healthy person would never stay...

The more connected with our Divine Feminine self we are the less of an impact these endings have, because our worth and emotional well being...

TBF: Releasing Regret to Reclaim Your Life: Why Holding Onto Regret Can Be The Greatest Barrier to Stepping Into Our Divine Feminine Power & Keeps Us Stuck In Codependent Fixations
Regret is not inherently a bad thing to experience. In its initial stage regret can enable us to realize that we do not prefer the choice or action we made in a situation and would act differently in the future. Regret can keep us chained to the past, however, if we feel unable to learn from it, release it, and move on. Easier said than done sometimes, especially if we feel that something we did or didn't do changed the course of our lives. So how do we sit with this regret? Make peace with our past and perceived...

It is such a delightful surprise when a synchronistic event seems to pop up out of no where. Something as simple as seeing the same recurring numbers over and over again everywhere (we call them Angel numbers, always good to look up the meaning of the specific numbers you're seeing) or seeing a message on a billboard that seems to answer the exact question you were contemplating in your mind. Or it could be something that really stuns you. Something that feels like it is almost completely impossible and unexplainable. So great of a coincidence that it stops you...

Experiencing a life of joy & fulfillment is the true purpose of life. To know ourselves as a piece of the Universe in all its glory. Yet unfortunately so many of us feel beholded to a life that meets the requirements which we've assigned for ourselves. We lose touch with our true desires, passions, and what makes us feel alive. Yet often it's the case that we have to take a leap of faith out of the comfort of what we know to discover that Divine Feminine experience of full embodiment, love, and to express our true essence.
